Mentoring Children and Teens

Mentoring local youths is another way to positively impact both your life and the lives of others. Children and teens need role models - caring adults they can look up to and seek guidance from. By nurturing kids, we can help them accomplish their goals and reach their fullest potential. Whether a relative, neighbor, or volunteer, your time, experience, and knowledge can help local children and teens realize who they are and what they can be.

At the Longmont Y, coaching is an excellent way to mentor local youths. Every year, our basketball, soccer, lacrosse, softball, and flag football coaches help hundreds of kids develop the strength, confidence, and life skills they need to succeed. Right now, the Y is in great need of coaches to oversee basketball games and practices for elementary-aged children. Call Sports Director Darrin Cole at 303-652-4736 to find out how you can become a youth basketball coach. You could begin making a difference in the lives of Longmont youths today!
